I have to admit I hate nominating this article for deletion. I created this article, and in the past I helped it survive a speedy deletion (or maybe prod deletion) attempt. Wikipedia lacks adequate numbers of article on women involved in writing, adequate number of articles on African-American women, especially African-American Mormon women. The fact that my fiancee is an African-American Mormon woman makes me not want to delete any articles on people who are such. However I also firmly believe that we need to limit our coverage to people who meet notability guidelines. While when I created this article I though Trusty met notability guidelines, I have come to have a better understanding of the guidelines since then. The article is too dependent on staff bios from her employers, which are not independent, reliable 3rd party sources. My search for more sources turned up nothing helpful. I did find an interview on the blog podcast SistasinZion, but that probably does not rise to the level of a reliable source. There is just not enough to show that Trusty is notable.

 * Delete - possibly speedy too because the author is nominating it. No 3rd party coverage and there is nothing notable about being a Mormon journalist working for Deseret News - everyone who works there is. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 20:11, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Not everyone who works for the Deseret News is a Mormon. Until about a year ago the editor of their general religion section was a Seventh Day Adventist. The Deseret News has in the past had a Catholic as an editor-in-chief. Many of the staff are Mormons, but by no means all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:58, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I apologize for my hasty generalization but my point being Mr. Lambert that the Deseret News is partially owned by the LDS Church and whose publications mostly fall in line with their teachings. There is nothing notable at all with being an journalist (Mormon or not) with Deseret News by itself. If she was involved with the publication a noteworthy story or had any articles written about her than she would be notable. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 16:35, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
